On this Mother's Day, one little personal note, my mother, PeeWee Pierce and my bonus mom, Ann T. Barrow, both taught me to be a strong, independent, caring woman and I was blessed to have them in my life and I still miss them. Both were able to read some of my published work and I'm glad they were.
Happy Mother's Day, everyone.

Jesse Sublett's book is also on my nightstand. I was in college in Austin during the time much of the action in the book takes place, and I remember hearing about some of it at the time. Certainly not all of it, though. It's all very interesting and entertaining.
ReplyDeleteMy reading this week is todd Downning's Vultures in the Sky, a Hugh Bennert mystery, and The Bullet by Mary Louise Kelly. The latter is on my tablet, so is the preferred reading at night. The Bennert mystery is the first of his that I have read. He is sort of a lost Golden Age author. I'm ruminating over doing a column in the future dealing with his habit of setting his mysteries in Mexico, and particularly on the Mexican railroad system of the 1930s.
ReplyDeleteMy reading taste has been for non-fiction of late--I tend to go through spells of it. I've been reading "The Delaware Indians: A History" by C.A. Weslager.
ReplyDeleteJan, I think you're onto something with that Person of Interest guy playing Jack Reacher.
ReplyDeleteI'm reading for a client, just finished a Lindsey Davis novel, and just finished Melodie Campbell's fun sci-fi novel!
Leigh, now why didn't I guess you would also like Lindsay Davis? grin Falco is my hero. (His daughter is pretty cool too.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention, Leigh, and the terrific review!
Jan, I am running through the Arthur Ellis best and first novel shortlists, trying to get them read before the Arthur gala on May 28.
Good question! I am reading Martin Edwards' The Golden Age of Murder, which you will be hearing about later this week. I just finished How A Gunman Says Goodbye, the second volume of Malcolm Mackay's Glasgow Trilogy, which I will be writing about in a few weeks.
ReplyDeleteI am also reading Eric Cline's The Trojan War, A Very Brief Introduction, which is excellent, and I just started A Blink of the Screen, a collection of stories by the late great fantasy writer Terry Pratchett. It starts with a story that was published in a paying market when he was fifteen...
Stacks of stuff to read! Mainly books of short stories--just going through the ones on my couch; collections of sci-fi stories by Jerome Bixby and Mack Reynolds, Octavus Roy Cohen's "Jim Hanvey, Detective," and collections of Arthur Conan Doyle's horror stories (I recommend "Lot No. 249" and "The Brown Hand.") Thanks for sharing everybody!
